The Justice department went after Bob McDonnell for years in a frivolous case against him. Ultimately it will cost the former Governor over $10 million in legal fees.
According to Jeff Shapiro at the Richmond Times-Dispatch there is nothing to prevent McDonnell’s lawyers from going back to court to ask Judge Jim Spencer to award legal fees to McDonnell and his wife.
The Restoration Fund set up to help pay the McDonnells’ legal fees has raised over half a million dollars but had only $35,675 on hand at the end of June. Donations to the fund can be made here.

Sorry, we just nicked $4 million for our primary, check with KC and the Delegate Defense Fund.
At $1000 bucks per hour, $10,000,000 in legal fee’s as reported in the media, equals 10,000 hrs..There is no way McDonnell owes $10,000,000 in legal fee’s. No way. No way 10,000 hrs. at $1000 per hour were honestly consumed. The lies continue. This is the start of a set up to screw $10,000,000 out of the taxpayer.
It’s all crooked. It’s all corrupt.
10 lawyers, 50 weeks (over multiple years) at 40 hours a week is 20,000.
How about 100 lawyers, why stop there? $1000 per hour? Yea, right.
It’s all corrupt.
